Mazzy Star - Common Burn, new song Oct. 2011 + lyrics

A-Side of new Mazzy single released Oct. 2011. B-side, "Lay Myself Down", I uploaded to You Tube earlier, as it was findable online earlier. (I see some sites now refer to the single as having double-A sides, & no B-side). I now have two different YT uploads of Lay Myself Down available. The first one's here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB4tjp...
It was recorded from the streamed audio at a lower volume level than I'd have liked (my error). Depending on listeners' audio set-ups, this could pose a listening problem, or be an annoyance (or not), so I've uploaded a 2nd recording of Lay Myself Down here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=182Roo...
with volume pre-cranked, i.e. it's recorded at a louder volume level. Two to choose from!

The two new songs, on Mazzy Star's own new Indie label, Rhymes of an Hour Records, are officially available to purchase online as of Oct. 31, 2011.

There's also a very nice 7" 33rpm transparent blue vinyl record of the two new songs available. It was supposed to be released Oct. 2011 like the digital versions, but was delayed till 2012. Retailers are selling it now. I received one in the mail last week.
Shop around & you can avoid ebay gougers, & retailers who charge inflated shipping charges. Mazzy's an Indie band now. Support & encourage them by buying their music!

This recording comes from a free stream found at this site: fuckyeahmazzystar.tumblr.com. Many other sites are now streaming both new songs.
Several sites now report a full Mazzy album & tour are to follow in 2012. It's not official news just yet, as Hope's official site, hopesandoval.com has so far announced just the single. However, her site's webmaster, Colin, left a post at another fan site, mazzystar.nu, promising more news is coming. I wonder, what news might that likely be? An album announcement, followed by news of a major tour, perhaps? Or so we hope - but odds could be good on both counts... Summer may be over (here in the Northern Hemisphere, at least), but hey, a new Mazzy Star season's just starting - surely good enough news to help alleviate winter blahs for Mazzy/Hope fans north of the Equator, & enhance summer enjoyment for those south of!

-Check my YT Channel for many (mostly live) unreleased & rare Mazzy Star, & Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions songs I've uploaded.

(attempted lyrics transcription below. Some of Hope's words here are hard to catch. If anyone has ideas for corrections, don't hesitate to share them).

COMMON BURN
Simple things like your overcoat
And your beauty
That still are burnin' me
Let me hang around
Even if it's just some way
To have some common burn
A common burn
So I spend the night in someone's house
That you [ glowed in-?]
Oh simple me that you fled
But we have that in common
That common burn
That common burn
Oh well
Haven't I said
So many times before
You could sit around
And have everything that you score
Just don't come home and say you've been asleep
When you know you're burnin' someone
That common burn
That common burn
You know we have

April 2013 Update: Hope sings on a new song called "Not At All" that will be on forthcoming Dirt Blue Gene album, Watergrasshill. The song's been upped to a few YT channels, including mine. The new song sounds reminiscent of "Common Burn", & it seems likely it's Hope playing glockenspiel, & that she wrote or co-wrote it, as it sounds so much like her style.

Sadly, the webmaster of popular Mazzy Star Boulevard fansite recently shut it down after 15 years. But there's a new Mazzy Star fan site a Forum member of the old site is setting up at mazzystarDOTtk . Only the Forum is up & working so far here: forumsDOTmazzystarDOTtk . Check it out!

After 100,000+ views, this upload has received just 4 thumbs down, but 641 thumbs up (as of this post), an overwhelmingly positive response, which surely says something about the quality of the band & song!

They toured California & many European countries Spring - Summer 2012.

Fans are awaiting a new album that's reportedly partly or mostly recorded already, & hopefully a continuation of touring, gigging in the rest of North America, & where

ever else in the world are Mazzy Star fans!
